Tall trees, pine-trees, that march around the hill, Swaying in a stately dance to the wild wind’s piping shrill,, 'My heart cries out for the joyous days that in your lodge $1 I’ve spent , ; .':-.VV ■ k SU-Ai While my good wife nods by our well-kept fire, nor dreams, •"of my discontent. - -j I J ,€k I I C-% : Swift water, white water, plunging dswn the falls, Pushing with impatient hands at the caging canon walls,.
